Chapter 116 The Obedient One
"Mr. Xavier," Nelson suddenly spoke, "I remember it's almost time for your afternoon nap, right?"
Seeing the unfriendly look of Nelson, Mr. Xavier coughed and stood up, "Ahem, yes, you're right. I will make a move first, then."
Charlotte couldn't bear to see him leaving and said, "Let me walk you out!"
Mr. Xavier hesitated, knowing that Nelson wasn't pleased with his presence.
Charlotte insisted on escorting him to his car, and only after he left did she return to the living room and ask Nelson, "Mr. Clark, why did Mr. Xavier come here today?"
"Somebody asked him to come and check on my condition," Nelson casually replied, "You seem quite interested in him."
"Mr. Xavier is one of my idols!" Charlotte admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed." Though I still have a long way to go compared to him, I'll work hard to improve my skills."
Nelson smirked and asked, "What about me?"
"Oh?" Charlotte looked at him blankly, "What does this have to do with you?"
"What am I to you?" Harrison asked.
Charlotte was taken aback, and after a while, she stammered with her blushed face, "You... You're a very important person to me!"
"If in the future, Mr. Clark ends up living on the streets, I would definitely reach out to help you and bring you home. Taking care of you like my father!"
Nelson thought to himself, "I didn't expect me to be so important to her."
Feeling slightly better, he asked, "Did you have your lunch?"
Charlotte shook her head, "Not yet."
Nelson tilted his head and suggested, "Let's have lunch then."
Charlotte enjoyed the meals prepared by Cora and ended up drinking an extra bowl of soup, which left her feeling quite full.
Nelson glanced at the sky outside and said, "Let me take you out for a walk."
It was an overcast day, with a slightly cool breeze, perfect for a stroll.
Charlotte gently touched her slightly protruding belly and nodded. Nelson casually picked up a jacket and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Raise your arms."
Charlotte looked at him in confusion but raised her arms as he instructed.
With a slight frown, Nelson helped her put on the jacket, making sure both sleeves were in place, and said, "It's windy outside."
He stood very close to her and almost enveloped her in his arms. Charlotte could see a glimpse of his exposed collarbone, and she could smell the faint scent of tobacco and orange blossom shower gel, which filled her nostrils and made her mind feel chaotic.
His voice was low and husky when he spoke, which was sexy and seductive. Her brain felt jumbled, and she inexplicably imagined a scene of dancing amidst flames and ice.
A soft rose color crept up Charlotte's delicate and fair neck, spreading to her cheeks.
She took two hurried steps back, breathing heavily, and lowered her head, "Thank... Thank you, Mr. Clark."
